Welcome to NHRM

The National Horse Racing Museum is a 5-acre site in the heart of Newmarket. It comprises three complementary attractions; National Horseracing Museum in the Trainer’s House and King’s Yard Galleries, Packard Galleries of British Sporting Art in Palace House, and a chance to meet former racehorses in the flagship home of Retraining of Racehorses.

We have a fabulous restaurant and gift shop onsite and visits can take from 3 hours to a full day, and sometimes even more…! However, don’t worry if you can’t fit it all in in one day – upgrade your ticket to an annual pass for FREE to return as many times as you like for 12 months after purchase.

COVID-19 – Our key priority is to ensure the safety of our visitors and staff. To that end, we have conducted a thorough Covid-19 site risk assessment and introduced a range of safety measures, all in strict accordance with government guidelines. You will find that we have instituted one-way routes around the site, both indoors and outdoors, and we ask that all visitors both abide by these routes and maintain appropriate social distancing. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you.
